Does my child need to be able to swim?

No. All surfing is done in waist to chest deep water with an instructor nearby the whole time. We work with kids of all confidence levels in the water.

How young is too young?

We take kids from age 6. If your child is confident in or around water and keen to give it a go, they’re ready. Not sure? Give us a call and we’ll talk it through.

What actually happens if my kid is nervous on day one?

It happens more than you’d think and our instructors are genuinely good at it. We ease kids in at their own pace, never force anything and by the time they catch their first wave the nerves are long gone.

Is the 2 day or 4 day program better?

Both are great but the 4 day program is where you really see the transformation. Two days gets them up and riding. Four days builds real confidence and independent surfing. If budget allows, go the four days.

What if my child is already a confident surfer?

Perfect. We group kids by ability so your child won’t be stuck doing beginner drills. They’ll be pushed to the next level with kids at a similar stage.

Do I need to stay during the program?

No. This is a fully supervised drop off program. Drop them off at 9am and pick up at 1pm. Our instructors manage everything from arrival through to sign out.

What if the weather is bad?

We run rain or shine. Kids are in wetsuits and in the water anyway. If conditions are genuinely unsafe we’ll contact you in advance and offer a reschedule or credit.

Can my child bring their own gear?

Yes. We’ll check it suits the conditions and provide our gear if needed, all included in the program price.

My child has additional learning or physical needs. Can they still join?

Yes, and this is something we’re experienced with. We’ve worked with a wide range of needs and always adapt our approach. Contact us before booking and we’ll work out what’s best.
